I’m curious, because my experience with “Kyoka” as a name nowadays is often seen as a feminine name in modern Japan. But I’m curious if that was the case in his time?

I could certainly be wrong, but I doubt that posing as a female writer offered much benefit during those times. I’m greatly curious and would love to understand more.
